Patent CA-2422569-A1 (CA)
Title: Ensemble de micro-coupelles et procede permettant d'enfermer hermetiquement des liquides au moyen de cet ensemble
Inventor: SUZUKI HIDEYUKI
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2001-09-17
Abstract: Cette invention a trait à un ensemble de micro-coupelles, et au procédé correspondant, permettant d'enfermer hermétiquement des liquides. Cet ensemble est constitué d'un contenant dans lequel sont disposées, en réseau, plusieurs coupelles indépendantes, et d'un couvercle recouvrant le contenant. Cet ensemble se caractérise par le fait que la partie proche du rebord de chaque coupelle se trouve en saillie par rapport au pourtour de celle-ci. Le procédé selon l'invention consiste à injecter dans les coupelles davantage de liquide que celles-ci ne peuvent en contenir, puis, une fois celles-ci remplies, à en expulser le liquide en excès, de sorte qu'il n'y reste pas d'air. De faibles quantités d'échantillon peuvent, de la sorte, réagir avec un réactif dans un espace très réduit et il est possible de déceler, de manière satisfaisante, les signaux de fluorescence produits.

Abstract: A low-profile and highly-maneuverable vacuum cleaner (100) having improved functionality including, alone or in combination, a headlight (102), a sidelight (104), anti-ingestion bars (1200), side brushes (410), a squeegee (1202), and a scent cartridge (234) for use in cleaning floors, floor coverings, carpets, upholstery and other surfaces. One embodiment includes a  tortuous air flow path (802, 804) created by baffles (806) that divert air flow. The tortuous path creates quieter air flow through the vacuum housing.  The tortuous air flow arrangement is for cooling the internal parts of a vacuum cleaner. Another embodiment includes an indicator light assembly (114 ) for the vacuum cleaner (100) visually providing the user with the vacuum's current operation status. In another embodiment, the rear wheels (224) are recessed within the head housing (106) and slightly offset rearwardly of the  rear wall of the head housing (106) to provide enhanced maneuverability.</SD OAB>

Filed: 2003-06-25
Abstract: A method and a system for separating an image signal into a set of image planes. The system comprises a min-max module, a dynamic threshold module and a separation module. The min-max module receives the image signal, searches for a minimum and maximum within at least one window centered on a current pixel in the image signal. The dynamic threshold module computes, for the window, based on the respective minimum and maximum received from the min-max module and the current pixel, a respective indicator representing the distance and direction of the current pixel relative to a respective threshold plane, and outputs a control signal based on the indicator. The separation module separates the image signal into the set of image planes in accordance with the control signal by including a representation of the current pixel in at least one of the image planes.

Filed: 2001-11-29
Abstract: The invention relates to auto-tunnelling in a heterogenous network, and more particularly in an IS-IS routing domain. The preferred embodiment provides a routing apparatus that enables network nodes which support incompatible network layer protocols, such as CLNP, IPv4 or IPv6 to be present in a single routing domain, e.g. IS-IS level-1 area or level-2 subdomain. The routing apparatus enables nodes automatically to tunnel one network layer protocol over another as required, provided that all of the nodes in the routing domain support IS-IS or Integrated IS-IS routing protocols. The routing apparatus does not necessarily try to route a data packet to its destination node but rather sends the data packet in a tunnel to a node in the path to the destination node, as appropriate.

IPC: C10G3/00
Filed: 2004-02-12
Abstract: Method and apparatus for treating an ore comprising mineral substrate particles surrounded by hydrocarbon compounds, especially tar sand grains and contaminated soils, to recover a hydrocarbon portion and a cleaned substrate portion. In a preferably continuous process, hydrocarbonaceous rock, sand, ore, or soil containing bitumen, petroleum, and/or kerogen may be crushed or otherwise comminuted as needed to provide a particle size of sand or smaller. The ore is mixed with water to form a slurry. The slurry is heated to about 80°C and is intensively sheared to condition the slurry for separation, preferably by shear-fracture of the hydrocarbon layers surrounding the particles in the grains. The conditioned slurry is blended with a peroxide in aqueous solution, preferably hydrogen peroxide, which enters the grains and is decomposed therein, creating bubbles of free oxygen within the grains which disrupt the hydrocarbon envelope. In decomposing, the peroxide increases the hydrophilicity of the particle surfaces. Both free and bound hydrocarbons in the ore are thereby released from the mineral substrate particles. The resulting hydrocarbon globules are separated from the substrate particles by flotation, accelerated by attached oxygen bubbles. Water and mineral tailings from the process are substantially free of hydrocarbon contamination and are environmentally suitable for landfill disposal.

Title: A novel system for analysis and synthesis of power system signals
Inventor: KARIMI GHARTEMANI MASOUD M K
IPC: H02J3/00
Filed: 2004-04-05
Abstract: This document discloses a novel system for detection and extraction of useful signals for analysis, design, control, and protection of power systems as well as for power quality purposes. The proposed system is based on generalization of the concept of Enhanced Phase-Locked Loop (EPLL) system. The EPLL and one of its extensions are first outlined. It is observed that this extension is not direct and some redundancies are present in its structure which make the system have long transient responses. A new generalization of the EPLL to three-phase is presented in this report as the most integral extension of the EPLL with no redundancy of structural components.   Having a structure as simple as consisting of nine state-variables (nine integrators); the proposed structure receives a three-phase set of signals and provides (1) instantaneous positive-, negative-, and zero-sequence components; (2) steady-state sequence-components. (3) fundamental components; (4) harmonics, (5) amplitudes, (6) phase angles, and (7) frequency.   This three-phase EPLL system can certainly be a building block for almost all of the signal processing requirements encountered in the context of power system applications.      Examples are Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) and Custom Power Controllers. Active Power Filter (APF), Static Compensator (STATCOM), and various versions of Power Flow Controller (PFC) system are specific examples in this category. Particularly, the developed system can be employed as an integral part of the control system of the fast. growing technologies of distributed generation systems and renewable energy sources. This is due to the presence of frequency recursions and distortions encountered in these systems which conventional strategies for their control fail to cope with them. The proposed system can equally be used as a basic part of the power quality measurement and monitoring systems which will furnish them with unique features due to its capabilities.   Some typical behaviors of the system are shown using computer simulations in this report. However, extensive work must be carried out to investigate performance of the system in various application areas.
